Rebirth is not a dream.

Taozi hurried over and reported: "Princess, the Huguohou Mansion has sent an invitation, inviting you to attend the Huguohou's old lady's birthday banquet on the tenth day of the lunar month."

Su Yue took the invitation, looked at it carefully, and then said, "November 10th, this day is really an auspicious day!"

Peach asked curiously, "Princess, are we going to this party?"

Su Yue smiled and replied: "Since they have invited us, let's go. Anyway, we have nothing to do recently."

Taozi reminded, "But, Princess, we still have a lot of account books to look through."

Su Yue thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. You can ask Sister Bijun and Yanyan to help count these account books. There's no rush."

Taozi asked in surprise: "Princess, are you really going to let Yanyan help you look at the account books?"

Su Yue smiled and explained, "Yan Yan is actually quite talented, and she is also very talented in accounting, so it's okay to ask her to help. After all, we can't let her eat for free in the princess's mansion."

Taozi asked doubtfully, "But isn't Yanyan already the Third Young Master's concubine? Do we still have to keep her as a guest?"

Su Yue comforted Taozi and said, "Let's think about this later. Let her help with the work now. There will definitely be a proper arrangement in the future."

Su Yue felt that Yanyan might have been greatly hurt because she was used as an antidote by Qin Yi before. This not only affected her body, but more importantly, it had a profound impact on her psychology. Su Yue guessed that Yanyan might have suffered from a psychological disease called "injury stress", but she was not sure whether there were doctors specializing in treating such diseases in this era. However, Su Yue noticed an interesting phenomenon: as long as Qin Yi was not around, Yanyan could return to normal; but once Qin Yi appeared, she would become extremely nervous and afraid. Therefore, Su Yue believed that it was very unlikely that Yanyan would compete with her for Qin Yi. However, as to whether Yanyan could live an ordinary life in the future, Su Yue said that further observation was needed. After all, she had limited knowledge of ancient psychology and could not be sure whether Yanyan's condition could be effectively treated. Perhaps, as time went by, Yanyan's psychological trauma would gradually heal and regain her inner peace.

Su Yue thought about it and found it a little strange, so she said, "It's only November now, and Old Man Su has already sent the New Year gifts. Why is he sending it so early this year?" If the Marquis of Huguo's Mansion had not sent the invitation, she would not have realized that Old Man Su had sent the New Year gifts early this year.

Taozi echoed, "Yes, in the past, Master Su would send the New Year gifts in December. How come he sent them so early this year?"

Su Yue frowned, thinking about the reason in her heart. After a while, she said to Taozi, "Go ask Aunt Tao to see if Father Su has contacted her."

After hearing this, Taozi asked, "Should I ask Madam Tao to come over so that you can ask her in person?"

Su Yue shook her head and replied: "No, just go and ask her. If she is willing to tell me, that would be the best. If she doesn't want to tell me, that's fine too."

Taozi responded, "Oh..." and then turned and left.

When Su Yue arrived at the Marquis of Huguo's Mansion, many people had already arrived.

Qin Huai, the Marquis of Protecting the Country, is in his early fifties this year. His father was the Duke of Protecting the Country. He followed the previous emperor to conquer the world and made great military achievements, so he was granted the title of Duke. However, the Duke of Protecting the Country was beheaded for the crime of treason more than 20 years ago. At that time, all the direct descendants of the Duke of Protecting the Country were killed. The current Marquis of Protecting the Country, Qin Huai, was awarded the title of Marquis of Protecting the Country for his meritorious reporting. The old lady of the Marquis of Protecting the Country, Yuan Xiaomei, is also the old lady of the Marquis's mansion. She finally takes charge of the family and no longer has to live her life under the mood of the Duke of Protecting the Country and his wife.

The old lady of the Protectorate is the concubine of the Protectorate Duke and the sister of the old Prince Li. Today is her 71st birthday, but it is not a full birthday, so not many people come. However, the Protectorate Duke has some status in the court, and he has a close relationship with the emperor, so there are still some ministers and nobles who come to celebrate her birthday.

After Su Yue entered the main hall, she found that it was already full of people. She saw the old lady who protected the country sitting in the first seat, and the Marquis of Protecting the Country and his wife sitting next to her. In addition, there were some noble ladies and young ladies sitting on the side, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Su Yue saluted the old lady who protected the country, wishing her good fortune as vast as the East Sea and longevity as great as the South Mountain. She also presented the gift she had prepared. The old lady who protected the country smiled and took the gift and expressed her gratitude. Then, Su Yue greeted the Marquis of Protecting the Country and his wife.

At this time, a voice was heard: "Hey, isn't this Princess Mingyue? How come you have time to come to our Marquis Huguo's Mansion today?" The person who spoke was Zheng Ronger, the second daughter-in-law of the Marquis Huguo, and her tone was a little sarcastic.

Su Yue smiled slightly and said, "I heard that the old lady who protects the country is celebrating her birthday today, so I came to celebrate her birthday. Doesn't Madam Zheng welcome me?"

Zheng Ronger snorted and said, "Princess Mingyue, you are joking. It is our honor to have you come to our Huguohou Mansion."

Su Yue looked at Zheng Rong with some doubts. She couldn't help wondering in her heart, she and Zheng Rong should have no intersection, why did she come to pick a quarrel as soon as they met? This made Su Yue very puzzled. So, she turned to Taozi beside her and asked, "Do I have any grudges with this Second Madam Su?"

Taozi shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, and then said, "No, but the third lady of the Zheng family is very optimistic about the third young master." Hearing this, Su Yue raised her eyebrows and pondered in her heart. It seems that this Zheng Rong may be hostile to her because of Qin Yi. Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but ask curiously, "When did Qin Yi attract such a bad peach blossom?"

Faced with this question, Taozi also answered helplessly: "How can this servant know?" After all, these things are not something she can know. However, Su Yue found this matter a little funny. She thought to herself, she was really stupid enough to dare to provoke such a person. Did he think that she, Su Yue, was easy to bully?

Su Yue's lips curled up into a faint smile, thinking: "So that's the case, but feelings can't be forced. If Miss Zheng San really likes Qin Yi, she can just express her feelings to him. Why bother her?"

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and everyone turned to look.

A gorgeously dressed woman walked in, her face filled with pride and a hint of disdain in her eyes.

"Who is this? So arrogant..." someone whispered.

"She is Zheng Yuyan, the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Zheng, and also Zheng Ronger's sister." Someone answered.

Zheng Yuyan walked up to Su Yue, looked her up and down, and sneered, "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Princess Mingyue. What a rare guest."

Su Yue's eyes flashed with displeasure, but she still smiled politely and said, "It turns out to be Miss Zheng. I have heard of your name for a long time."

Zheng Yuyan curled her lips in disdain and said, "Don't think you are great just because you are a princess. In my eyes, you are just an unfavored woman."

Su Yue's face darkened, and she said coldly: "Miss Zheng, isn't that too much?"

Zheng Yuyan didn't care and continued, "My sister likes Qin Yi, you'd better stay away from him, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

Su Yue looked directly at Zheng Yuyan and responded without flinching, "Qin Yi is my husband, why should I stay away from him? But you, coveting a married man, aren't you afraid of losing face for the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Zheng Yuyan was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Su Yue and said, "You...you..."

"Alright, alright. We're all here to celebrate the old lady's birthday. Why make things unpleasant?" The wife of the Marquis of Protectorate quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

The farce was thus settled, but Su Yue knew that she had a feud with the Zheng sisters.
